Ritherdon National Highways Roadside Electrical Cabinet (NHREC)

The Ritherdon National Highways Roadside Electrical Cabinet (NHREC) closely follows the design of the traditional range of Ritherdon RB Cabinets (previously known as the NH RB Cabinet). The NH REC Cabinet meets all the requirements detailed in National Highways specification MCE 2650.

The Roadside Electrical Cabinet is intended to house electrical/electronic equipment installed on the Strategic Road Network (SRN). The NHREC Cabinet is a basic cabinet, but with IP56 rating and secure locking systems, with a three-point locking mechanism as standard.

A cost effective alternative when a complex cabinet is not necessary (like a Type 600 Cabinet or Type 640 Cabinet or formerly Type 600C).

Please Note: Concentric key not included; Ritherdon do not supply concentric key, instead these must be obtained direct from National Highways.
